PHONE SCAMS

Police warn residents of phone scams circulating – whether it’s a “grandchild” calling because they’ve been in an accident and needs money or people calling from the IRS demanding payment. No one from the IRS will ever call asking for money or any type of gift cards as payment and always check with your family before purchasing gift cards for payment over the phone for the grandchildren in trouble. Scammers use creative ways to trick elderly victims.
